It mimics the sounds that the baby got used to hearing in the womb and
blocks out baby-waking noises that he / she isn't used to (dogs
barking, sirens wailing, aeroplanes, TV etc, etc.) - makes the world a
less scary and noisy place for newborns.  Not recommended for longer
term use though - some more recent research suggests that it may delay
speech development in older babies.
